Central Cee's Smoke Grey Patent Leather Nike Air Force 1 Drops in February

As fashion’s 20-year cycle continues to run through the first decade of the 21st century, British rapper Central Cee is right on schedule. Channeling the likes of Nelly and the St. Lunatics, Cee is adding panels of patent leather to his new Nike Air Force 1 collab collection, including this simple but shiny mix of black and grey.

The Central Cee x Nike Air Force 1 Low Light Smoke Grey features black patent leather on the toe, lace, and heel panels, and smoke grey patent on the toebox, side panels, and heel tab. The Swoosh is white, and more grey is added to the laces, tongue, and sockliner. Underneath, black is added to the midsole, and grey covers the outsole to complete the two-tone look.

In addition to the black and grey colorway, Cee is pulling out the patent for two more colorways, one in beetroot red and the other in black, blue, and yellow. On all three pairs, Cee adds his Syna World halo logo to the lateral heel and the Syna graffiti hit to the box.

The Central Cee x Nike Air Force 1 Low Black Light Smoke Grey will be released February 13, 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $130. For all the latest Nike collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
